Chapter 897

Return to Beijing

The atmosphere was thick with tension and no one dared to speak.

Hui Lin’s lips slowly curled into a faint smile. “Brother Yang, are you using something so small to dismiss me?”

Her words sliced through the air and everyone drew in a sharp breath. Lin Ruoxi couldn’t listen on. Was she really rejecting him?! Was she really joining in on this mess?!

But before everyone could gather their thoughts, Hui Lin took the headphone into her arms.

She then chided Yang Chen, “I’ll take it but I expect something better next time. I’m an idol you know, so I can’t be dismissed so easily.”

They sighed in relief but they also felt bad for her.

Even though she was smiling brightly, her eyes were pooling with sorrow.

Lin Ruoxi gripped her dress and looked down in silence.

Yang Chen sighed. He felt bad for what he had to do but he couldn’t accept her.

He didn’t mind the affection but it was unfair for the ladies. His best course of action was to reject her now before anything else could happen.

In the past, he might accept her immediately but as of now, self control was a must.

Everyone was on edge after Yang Lie’s incident. They weren’t as open and friendly, save Tang Tang.

Lin Ruoxi spoke up.

“Wang Ma has her own reason so just let her get off.”

Yang Chen could tell that Lin Ruoxi knew what was going on but he didn’t ask since both of them wouldn’t say it out loud. He contemplated for a second and said, “How about I accompany Wang Ma and let Ruoxi drive you guys home?”

“You’re going too?” Lin Ruoxi questioned.

Yang Chen nodded and chuckled. “Relax, I’ll be with Wang Ma so I won’t flirt with anyone else. I’m just going there to buy some stuff and protect Wang Ma from weirdos. I can’t let a beauty like her wander off on her own.”

Wang Ma blushed. “What beauty, I’m just an old lady… Young Master, don’t joke with me.”

“You’re not! I think of you as my sister.” Zhenxiu giggled.

Guo Xuehua smiled and sighed in her heart, I shouldn’t worry too much. I shall just enjoy what I have now.

Yang Chen stopped the car and got off so that Lin Ruoxi could take over.

He reminded her to drive carefully since it was rush hour before walking towards the shops with Wang Ma.

That place was considered one of the low-end areas in the east of Zhonghai, but it wasn’t the worst.

Yang Chen had never come here before, even when he was selling lamb skewers.

All he knew was that the only people who visited this area were college students and housewives.

Wang Ma was happy that Yang Chen was willing to accompany her. She had been taking care of the ex-president for years until now that Lin Ruoxi grew up and got married. All her youth was devoted to this family.

She thought all her efforts were worth it since Lin Ruoxi and Yang Chen treated her like she was their real aunt.

Wang Ma was feeling quite down from before but she had forgotten all of it when she looked at Yang Chen who was walking next to her, as if he was her son.

Yang Chen looked towards the crowd and asked curiously when he noticed Wang Ma not going into any hops, “Wang Ma, what are you planning to buy? Are we going to look at clothes?”
